4.10.3 Configuration License PLUG (CLP)
Description
The SCALANCE CLP is an exchangeable storage medium for the storage and securing of
configuration data that can be used in all SCALANCE devices with CLP slot (for example,
with SCALANCE W1700). The SCALANCE CLP is used to transfer the configuration of the
old device to the new device when a device is replaced. The CLP is also referred to as
PLUG in the description.
Figure 4-57 SCALANCE CLP
The PLUG is available in the following variants:
● PLUG Configuration: The exchangeable storage medium only saves the configuration
data of the device.
How it works
Do not remove or insert the PLUG during operation.
A PLUG may only be removed or inserted when the device is turned off.
The device checks whether a PLUG is inserted at one second intervals. If it is detected that
the PLUG has been removed, the device restarts.
If a valid PLUG was inserted in the device, the device changes to a defined error state
following the restart. With SCALANCE W, the available wireless interfaces are deactivated
in this case.
If the device was configured at one time with a PLUG, the device can no longer be used
without this PLUG. To be able to use the device again, reset the device to the factory
settings.
